While I am working on cleaning up my diet, there are a few occasions that make me pause and just throw caution to the wind. Like when it’s a loved one’s birthday.

I found myself in the position of needing to make a birthday cake, and when I asked the recipient what kind he wanted, I was told to make a strawberry cake. The birthday boy loves this cake so much, however, he wants it reserved only for special occasions. I grant you permission to make it any time. Just be sure to invite me over for a piece.
